Siheyuan: The Ambition of Sanzang

Chapter 96 52. Deputy Librarian
Within a few days, Yan Bugui brought a hale and hearty old man to Sanzang's courtyard.

He was basking in the sun in the yard with a book at this time, and he was not in the mood to read, thinking about thick copper.

"Professor Huang! I have brought you the person you are looking for!"

"Oh!"

"Let me introduce, this master's surname is Lei!"

"Master Lei, hello!"

"Hello there!"

"I don't know if Mr. Lei has something to do with Style Lei?"

"A little bit, we are his offshoots!"

"Okay! Your ancestral home is Jiangyou Province, and I am also from Jiangyou, so we can be regarded as fellow villagers!"

"Oh?! My boss is also from Jiangyou!"

"That's right! My hometown is right next door to your ancestral home!"

"That's such a coincidence!"

"Okay! I'm relieved to leave it to you!"

"Then what does the boss want?"

"This courtyard house needs to be thoroughly cleaned up and repaired. You can do it freely and don't be afraid to spend money. The general principle is 'repair the old as the old'!"

"Don't worry! I won't ruin the name of our style thunder!"

"That's why I came to you, and I wanted to do some modernization.

For example, I want to lay a layer of tiles on the floor of the rooms we live in, and build a modern toilet and a bathroom in the southwest corner. Do you think it is possible? "

"Yes, but you can't buy ceramic tiles in China now!"

"I know that. I'll buy it from Harbor City."

"Then it's fine!"

"I want to buy some air conditioners from Hong Kong City to install in these main rooms. Do you think it's okay?"

"Yes! But some lines need to be re-routed, and the positions must be cleverly placed."

"Okay! Just do it according to your idea! You can see how much budget you need."

"It's hard to say, I need to actually investigate!"

"Okay! Then check it out slowly!"

Master Lei took out a pen and paper from his pocket and slowly checked and recorded.

When Sanzang saw this, he was indeed a professional.

Yan Bugui also followed him to watch the excitement, Sanzang shook his head, let them go, covered his face with the book, and continued to bask in the sun.

After an unknown amount of time, Sanzang seemed to hear someone talking in a daze.

"Slow down! Be careful! I'm a little dizzy at such a high age!"

Sanzang took the book away, opened his eyes, stood up and looked at the voice, greatly admiring,

It turned out that Master Lei tremblingly climbed to the roof to check the situation.

Yan Bugui stood below and supported the ladder.

He hurried over to help, "Slow down! Master Lei, slow down!"

"It's okay! I'm a bit older now, but my hands and feet are still very neat.

I used to climb up and down when I was young, and a small yard like yours is simply pediatrics.

It's been a long time since I took on such a big job, and my heart is a little itchy!hey-hey! "

"How is it? Mr. Lei, do you have a general plan?"

"Boss! I checked everything carefully, and there are two options, you should carefully consider them."

"Oh! Let's hear it!"

"The first plan is to arrange all the work and materials, and thoroughly clean up and repair it, which will cost about 1 yuan.

The second solution uses inferior materials, but it can be basically repaired, and most people can't see anything. It will cost about 5000 yuan. "

"Okay! Don't think about it! I'll choose the first option! I'll give you the money right away!"

When he saw Sanzang entering the room, Master Lei turned his head curiously and asked Yan Bugui,
"Teacher Yan! What is the origin of this owner? 1 yuan is whatever you want!
Isn't his big yard just returned from his ancestral property? "

"Brother Lei! I, Yan Pugui, can keep it a secret from others, so forget about it!

Anyway, you will know sooner or later, he bought this yard from a big family, do you know how much he spent? "

"A yard like this is worth about 7 to 8 now!"

"Hey! He bought it for $2 last year!"

"Oh?! Is he an overseas Chinese?"

"No! But I'm not a native of Yandu either!
Probably in the 12th year of the Republic of China, you came here from your ancestral home to take over the work of his third uncle. Later, he was admitted to the university and made a fortune. Now he is an associate professor in the university.

He is a first-class talent with far-sighted vision and broad-mindedness.

If I had such a son, I would wake up with a smile in my dreams, and die without regret! "

"Then where did he get so much money?"

"He was once sent to Hong Kong City on a business trip, and he bought this courtyard house after he came back. He said he made money by speculating in stocks. Lao Lei, do you think this is possible?"

"I have heard people say that stocks can make you rich overnight, and you can jump off a building overnight!"

"That's really possible! Old Lei! You really have to do a good job this time!"

"We have always done a good job, and our reputation of more than 200 years is not in vain!"

"Yes, yes! I'm not talking about that, he also has a courtyard with two entrances and six courtyards with one entrance.

Think about it, how long can you do these jobs? "

"Oh! This is a big customer! It looks like I really have to thank you this time!

rest assured!Your benefits are indispensable! "

"Then you must keep it a secret!"

"understand!"

Sanzang took the money from the house and came out, but he didn't care when he saw the two talking to each other.

"Master Lei! This is 1 yuan! Order it!"

"it is good!"

Teacher Lei was not polite, took the money, counted five thousand, and handed the rest back to Sanzang.

"It's a rule in our industry! Half of the deposit is collected before the work is done, and the other half of the final payment is paid after the work is completed.

One year later, if there is no problem with the project, I will collect the remaining half!I'll send you a receipt right now!Start working tomorrow! "

"Okay! It's authentic!" Sanzang took the receipt and glanced at it casually.
"I see that Mr. Lei and Mr. Yan have been busy all morning. I will be the host at noon. How about going to my friend's party in Shishahai for a cup of wine and try authentic Beijing-style Sichuan cuisine?"

"Oh?! I've also heard about Juyouren's name. It turns out that it's the owner's business, so I have to try it!"

"Shazhu's craftsmanship is really good, I have to try it out today!"

"Then let's go!"

The three of them rode bicycles to the entrance of the restaurant and found that there were still people queuing up. They had no choice but to follow along.

At this time, Yu Li came to the door to arrange dinner for customers, and just saw Sanzang and the three of them queuing up, and hurried over, "Boss! Just go in when you come! What's the line up for?"

"Manager Yu! You! The rules are made to be obeyed. Today, my boss also queues up personally, and your work will be easier in the future!

Go ahead!It doesn't matter if we eat later! "

"oh, I understand now!"

The people queuing up around listened in awe, and then slowly spread the word, and people who came to eat also lined up in a respectful manner.

"Okay! The boss is not simple!"

"That's right! Professor Huang is tall!"

Sanzang accompanied the two of them to have a good meal, and then they left. He still had important things to do.

I came to the school by bicycle and knocked on the principal's office. The old principal lowered his head to review the documents and pretended not to see them.

Sanzang was also speechless, making tea and drinking by himself, leaning on the sofa and dozing off, feeling like he was about to fall asleep, a book was thrown into his hand.

"You can't respect me, the principal, and take a nap in front of me!"

"No! I admire you very much in my heart, like a surging river..."

"Stop! Two messages! One good and one bad! Which do you want to hear?"

"Then come first! I have a bad heart!"

"Hehe! Then listen carefully, the publishing house has agreed to publish your "The Rise of the Nine Kingdoms". In the preface, I have risked my old face and don't brag about it. I hope I don't lose my face!"

"Really? That's great! Thank you, Headmaster! And the bad news?"

"In view of Comrade Huang Sanzang's inability to fulfill his teaching tasks, it was decided to transfer him to the post of deputy director of the school library."

"Oh! The organization values ​​me so much! I am so grateful!"

Sanzang thought that no librarian should be underestimated!

"What are you thinking about every day?"

The old headmaster probably thought of something, thinking to himself, and didn't know whether this decision was right or wrong.
